Overview

Overview

The mortality data in this IBIS-Q query module have been derived from
death certificates in participation with the National Vital Statistics System,
and are maintained and provided by the Utah Department of Health, Office of
Vital Records. They include virtually all deaths of Utah residents, regardless
of where the death occurred. The causes of death were coded using International
Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. The population estimates for years 1980-1999
were produced by the Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget (GOPB). For years 2000 and later the
population estimates are provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
through a collaborative agreement with the U.S. Census Bureau.

Getting Started

Follow the steps to narrow your query and display your results. When you
are done forming your query, click "Submit" bottom of the screen
(last step) to get your query result.

On October 10, 2018, estimates for 2010 and later have been
updated to the IBIS Version 2017 population estimates. For more information,

Step 1: Select year

(
Single Years: 2017
)

What year grouping do you want to select? Default is single years, most recent year.

Selecting years

Select a range of years. Use Ctrl to make multiple selections.

The year groupings you select here will be used to display your results if
you choose "year" below in the display the results step. For instance, if
you choose "Single years" here, and choose "Year/Year Groups" in the display
the results step, your query results will be displayed for single years,
for the range of years you selected. If you select "3-year groups",
"5-year groups" or if you enter custom year groups, your query results
will be aggregated within those year groups.

Single years

Enter custom year group(s)

Step 2: Select cause of death

(Causes of Death: all)

Cause of Death

There are a variety of predefined causes of death to choose from. If
causes on the predefined lists do not meet your needs, you may enter your
own ICD codes by selecting, (User-defined causes.)

First choose a coding scheme to use for causes of death. Default is all NCHS 50 leading causes.

NCHS Leading Causes of Death

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has developed a uniform procedure for ranking cause of death. Using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding structure, 113 selected causes of death were consolidated from the entire ICD coding structure. Of these 113 causes a subset of 50 rankable causes were selected to rank deaths for individuals older than one year of age. A subset of 71 rankable causes of death was selected for infant deaths. The rankings denote the most frequently occurring cause of death among causes eligible for ranking. See the help page under "Dataset Queries" tab for a listing.

How to Specify ICD Codes

Enter the codes, use a hyphen to indicate a range of codes, use a space or comma between codes.

For ICD-10 codes: P23 includes all codes under P23 (congenital pneumonia),
from P23.0 (Congenital pneumonia due to viral agent) to P23.9 (Congenital pneumonia,
unspecified). Because the codes are alpha-numeric and not simply numeric, deaths coded
simply (P23) will not be included in a range from P23.0-P23.9.
P23-P24 would include all codes under P23 and P24.

For ICD-9 codes: 480 includes all codes under 480 (viral pneumonia),
from 480.0 (Pneumonia due to adenovirus) to 480.9 (Viral pneumonia, unspecified).
Deaths coded simply 480 will not be included in a range from 480.0-480.9.
480-481 would include all codes under 480 and 481.

For ICD-9 Injury codes: Codes 800 and higher are injury codes. They are
referred to as E-codes. To specify E-codes type in the numbers WITHOUT
the E. For example: Adverse Effects of Medical Procedures and Care are
codes E870-E879. When entering these codes type 870-879.

User defined causes

Step 3: Select age of decedent

(Age Group: all)

First choose a coding scheme to use for age groups. Default is age adjustment age groups, all ages.

How to Specify Age Groups

Use a hyphen to indicate a range of ages (e.g., "5-8" will includes ages 5, 6, 7, and 8).

You may use greater than (>) and less than(<) symbols. An entry of
(<1) yields all infants age 0 through 364 days.

You may use a plus sign (+) to indicate all ages equal to or greater than
(e.g.,"85+" yields all those aged 85 and over).

Enter custom age group

Step 4: Select sex

Would you like to include only males or only females in the results? Default includes both sexes.

Both Male and Female

Male

Female

Step 5: Select geographic area

(Geographic Area: all)

Utah Resident Deaths

For Utah public health assessment, typically only Utah residents are
included in analyses of death data.

Death records for Utah residents who died while they were visiting outside
the state are included in the Utah death dataset. Interstate exchange of
vital records takes place between all 50 U.S. states and territories
as part of the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS).

First choose a geography type. Default is all Utah residents, regardless of place of death.

Local health district

County

Step 6: How to display the data

To display a map, you must select Geographic Area in
Display By (category) and None in Group By (series)

Display By (category)

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The
primary grouping is required and also controls the
ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel
and other graphing packages this is typically referred
to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d
table layout then this value/dimension is associated
with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this
value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Group By (series)

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group
and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will
commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series"
field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this
field is associated with data table's value columns.
Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts,
like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to
handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g.
they only work with the primary category type group
by being specified.

Chart

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are
currently not programmed to handle datasets that have
more than one group by e.g. they only work with the
primary category type group by being specified. All
other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group
bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series
group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Map

Optional map graph

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is
set to a geographical area and does not have a series
defined.

The data and information provided through the IBIS-PH Query System are

Use appropriate safeguards to prevent the inappropriate use or
disclosure of individual(s) represented in the data, including when
disclosing IBIS-PH Query System data to others.

Report IMMEDIATELY any inadvertent or intentional identity disclosures or violations of this
agreement of which I become aware to the Director of the Center for Public Health Data,
Department of Health.

I understand that failure to adhere to the above stated agreement items
will result in loss of access to DOH Internet databases, and I may be
subject to legal penalties. Any use, release, or publication of health
data contrary to the provisions stated is a class B misdemeanor, with
subsequent violations being class A misdemeanors punishable by a fine
of up to $5,000 per offense (Chapter 23, Title 26, Code Annotated).
If I am a state government employee, this may be grounds for immediate
dismissal.
